Madhavanunni Vallat is a scientist/engineer who has driven a large state project for desalination to offer millions of freshwater litres. Is this a solution the world and our cities should pursue? With several hundreds or thousands of crores spent on such projects, and with the per litre cost being much more than what you will pay for bottled water, do such solutions make sense? What is the ecological damage that such projects will cause when engineers and Govts meddle with sensitive ecologies on a large scale? When cities can halve their water demand at 5-7% of these costs with citizens driving demand side do we need these harmful supply side alternatives? If you’re curious to know more,
